With the Medical Council of India (MCI) giving its permission, decks have been cleared for admission of third batch of MBBS students in the Government Doon Medical College (GDMC) here. A team of the MCI had recently visited the GDMC and associated hospital recently for issuance of the letter of Permission (lOP) for the third batch of MBBS course of the college.
The Principal of the GDMC Dr Pradip Bharati Gupta said that based on the report of the MCI team and the undertaking submitted by the college, the MCI has forwarded recommendation to the Government of India (GOI) to permit admissions in the MBSS course in the college. He said that the GOI would soon issue the formal lOP to the college.
The MCI after recent inspection of the Medical College and its associated hospital had asked the college administration to submit an undertaking that all the lacunae pointed out by the team would be removed within next two months. As directed by the apex body of medical education the administration of the GDMC submitted the required undertaking.
The MCI had granted the lOP to the GDMC on June 08, 2016 based on which admission to 150 students was given in the, 1st year MBBS course. later the renewal of lOP was granted to the college after which students in the II batch were granted admissions last year.
The new lOP would clear the way for the college to take admissions in its third batch of MBBS course from the merit of NEET in July- August this year.
